Turn it up, close your eyes, listen... you're there. Atlantic wind, mossy trees, brick streets, thunderheads and lightning, crickets by the thousands,summer sweat,sweet potatoe pie, and everthing fried...Such is Life.  Enjoy and savor.

Tony Arata was in college and had a band when he saw me at 14, walking the streets of Statesboro with an old SG Melody maker in my hands. Tony stopped his van, gave me a guitar chord and a few lessons. I was raised on his tunes, this CD just brings back all those warm fuzzies. For those of you that don't know, Tony can really rock too!
Thanks for your music, kindness, guitar lessons, that Dairy Queen cheeseburger, The last CD and now this one!

Typical Tony!!  I love the voice.  But most of all the word and music!!  They always blow me away!
Satisfied Mind is my very favorite on this CD.  I still cry when I hear it!!  I bought a few for Christmas and Chanukah presents!!!

Another superb album from Tony, who, following on from 'Way Back When' has created more songs with lyrics which mean something - and come from the heart.  For example, any father with a daughter can relate to 'Daddies and Daughters'.  If you like songs which make you think and reflect, buy this album.
